Taxonomic Scope

TRICHOLOMATACEAE R. Heim ex Pouzar, 1983 (a family of toadstools)	Identification		Current	320 spp covered. Very useful. including Hygrophoraceae which is nice, but Boertmann's monograph is more useful. Questions have been raised about some of the identifications.
BOLETALES E.-J. Gilbert, 1931 (spongecap taodstools and their relatives)	Identification		Current	Good selection of species covered, but most are illustrated elsewhere. The critical group of Xerocomus is given an old-fashioned teatment with the more recent taxa not represented.
PAXILLACEAE Lotsy, 1907 (a family of bolete toadstools)	Identification		Current
POLYPORACEAE Fr. ex Corda, 1839 (a family of polypores)	Identification		Current
